Why alignment is Important?

Alignment is important because it:

• allows you to arrange elements in a way that matches how people naturally scan the page.
• helps to balance your image so that it is visually attractive.
• creates a visual connection between related elements.

Basic Alignment Principles

Edge Alignment

• This principle naturally positions elements against a margin that matches up with their outer edges.

Center Alignment

• This principle places design elements so that they line up with one another on their center axes.

Types of Horizontal Alignment for Text

• There are four types of alignment for text. They are center, flush left, flush right and justified.

Center

• It is placing every element  on the center axis of the page.
• It works best with just a few short lines of text.

Flush Left

• Text aligned to the left hand margin is flush left alignment.
• It is considered as strongest, safest and most common orientation.
• It results in very comfortable, secure and conservative look. 

 Flush Right

• Flush right alignment is much less common than other types, so it is often used to give elements a unique look and feel.
• In this text is aligned against right hand margin.

 Justified

• With justified alignment; both the left and right sides of  the text are effectively flush against hard, straight margins.
